A hex screw is a type of fastener with a threaded shaft and a hexagonal head, designed to be driven by a wrench or a socket with a hexagonal opening.
Hex screws are commonly used in various applications, including construction, machinery, automotive, electronics, furniture assembly, and more. They come in a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, brass, and more, each chosen based on the specific requirements of the application, including strength, corrosion resistance, and environmental factors.
When selecting a hex screw for a particular application, factors such as size, thread pitch, length, material, and grade should be considered to ensure it meets the necessary specifications and performance requirements.
